| Neville,
The clock is ticking for the Government to fix its renewable energy mess.
In the next two weeks, some companies will be forced to pay millions in liabilities and renewable energy projects could go off shore as this financial quarter draws to a close.
Despite these disastrous outcomes for renewable energy in Australia, the Government is still refusing to budge from its position of trashing the renewable energy target (RET).
Labor and the renewable energy industry want a resolution now, but we won’t take a deal that doesn’t support growth and job creation. And we won’t cop any change at all to the highly successful rooftop solar program.
That’s why it’s time for you and I both to do all we can to get the Liberal National Government to support a strong Renewable Energy Target. Can you sign our petition to say you stand for a strong RET that supports job creation in the renewable energy industry?
Labor has stood up to the Liberal’s agenda against renewable energy — especially since the Liberals ambushed the industry with Tony Abbott’s backflip on his election promise to support the RET more than 12 months ago.
And thanks to the support of so many of you, the Government has been forced to back down on its plans to scrap the RET altogether. But the uncertainty remains and it’s costing jobs as well as Australia’s renewable energy future.
That’s why together, we need to show we support a strong stance on the RET — and the Liberal National Government must reach an agreement with Labor which delivers a strong renewable energy industry. Click here to sign the petition today.
Renewable energy is key to making sure we’ve got a sustainable planet for the future. Sign our petition and stand with Labor for a strong renewable energy future.
Thanks for your support,
Mark Butler
Minister for the Environment, Water and Climate Change |
